Pubsubhubbub - Transient error with every Topic URL - youtube

We subscribed to YouTube's Pubsubhubbub to get notified if someone published a video on a channel. If we try to look at our Subscription details or the Topic url details through https://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com/ everything shows a "Transient Error" and the Server returns a 503 Error.
And it seems to error with every Topic-Url i try. Our Topic Url if it's opened in a browser, however, shows content, so it seems to be right. (https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCyjzn-6YZur2M-qVwTzbQGA)
It worked for a few weeks and yesterday we tried to subscribe to another channel und now this error is everywhere. Even our old subscribe won't get any push notifications anymore and the old topic url returns an error, too.
Anyone knows where the problem could be? Or has the same problem?

Why channel manager can't upload or edit video to be private to domain?

I entered some issue while trying to add video to YouTube.
When I'm enter studio.youtube.com as owner I can add private video, and share this video with everyone in my domain.
The problem starts when I'm trying to do the same, but from manager account.
Then I receive error "Sorry, we were not able to save your video."
I send feedback to youtube month ago, but for now without any answer.
On har file I find this error:
/error_204?a=logerror&t=jserror&type=Error&msg=Video%20mutate%20failed%20for%3A%20privateShare&line=Not
%20available&level=ERROR&client.name=62
Does anyone know what may creating this issue, or how to prevent it?

"Youtube Data API" quota extension application form does not work

I entered the required fields in the form below, but I get the error message "There was a problem submitting the form. Please try again."
https://support.google.com/youtube/contact/yt_api_form?hl=en
User agents (browser, PC, network) have changed. The problem was not solved.
I tried it every few days and the problem continues.
Hopefully the form will be sent successfully and the entered content and application will reach Youtube management.
Whether the application is approved is another story.
I encountered this same issue and it turned out there was a hidden error saying my the files I attached are more than 20mb, even though each video itself was under 20mb. I removed the attachments so the total of all files was under and it worked.

Unable to renew or create Group Event Subscriptions due to x-anchor mailbox

I have a web application that creates Group Event Subscriptions. It has been working fine for over a year. This week, I started noticing that subscriptions aren't being renewed or created.
In troubleshooting, I see this error:
Code: ExtensionError
Message: Operation: Delete;
Exception: [Status Code: BadRequest
Reason: The x-anchor mailbox 'OID:[User Object ID]#[Tenant Id]' does not match the target of the request.]
My payload is consistent with the Graph Documentation with the resource being Groups/[GroupId]/Events
Now, if I do nothing more than remove Events from this subscription request, a subscription to the group is created just fine. This means that the problem is isolated to the Group Event resource. I also have the same error for Group Conversations.
I am creating the subscription within the client's context.
I notice that something has changed on the backend. So, it appears that at the moment, no event or conversation subscriptions for groups can be created and subscriptions that I previously created/renewed that go out of date tonight will all fail.
I think that the error is really just a generic error and that this actually doesn't have anything to do with the X-AnchorMailbox header; however, I cannot be sure. I think this really is just an error that meant that the request is properly formatted, but that the subscription cannot be created.
Can someone confirm whether or not this is a new bug. If not, I am curious what has changed that I need to address in code.
I have tried different groups, tenants, and to reduce the requested changetype to updated only. I have attempted to add the X-AnchorMailbox header.
None work.
Here is my post from Graph Explorer
POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/subscriptions
Content-type: application/json
{
"changeType": "created,deleted,updated",
"notificationUrl": "https://[...]/Webhook-Calendar-Receiver?code=[code omitted]",
"resource": "Groups/[group id omitted]/Events",
"expirationDateTime":"2019-04-15T03:14:45.9356913Z",
"clientState": "[client state omitted]"
}
I expect a response with the subscription details in the body.
I had the same problem three days ago. This morning, I executed the call to create a subscription to threads in a group and it works great. (unable to comment [no reputation])
UPDATE:
This morning no patch or create works... It's a little weird, does Microsoft Graph still have problems?
UPDATE #2:
I contacted Microsoft support and they didn't solve the problem. It seems to work most of the time, but when it doesn't work, it's for a few days.

Pubsubhubbub doesn't send push notification any more

In order to get notified whenever a channel has a new video I have implemented the Pubsubhubbub protocol as suggested here: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/guides/push_notifications
The server I have for the callbackUrl is a Node.js application and I use the "pubsubhubbub" package to bootstrap the creation and handling of any events.
But for whatever reason, the server doesn't receive any more requests. I've tried resubscribing to the YouTube channels but to no luck. Is there an expiration date after which all subscriptions are dropped so that I need to re-subscribe regularly?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Short answer, YES. Unfortunately, You need to resubscribe again and again.
As I was looking for the same answer actually, after searching a bit, I found out finally that the subscription has an expiry date. See the "Subscriber Diagnostics" section for details (screenshot from "Subscriber Diagnostics" of my subscription)

YouTube Custom URL not working

my YouTube channel 'MusicCityGaming' has around 2.4 thousand subscribers, and our channel has been around for about 6 months now. We have custom channel art as well, so we definately meet the eligibility requirements for getting a custom URL for my channel.
Obviously, we have had over 500 subscribers (the minimum amount to be eligible for a custom URL) for over 3-4 months now.... I was told by YouTube that I would get a notification in my channel dashboard or an email telling me that I am now eligible for a custom URL.... I have waited for several months now with no notification or email. Since YouTube doesn't have a support line, I can't contact them. Why am I not getting this notification? My subscribers are all complaining because of the long and obnoxious link.
I see that the MusicCityGaming does appear to meet all the requirements, including having a channel icon (which you did not mention in your original question, so I checked). Having said that, you should find your "Get a new custom URL" notification on your https://www.youtube.com/signin?action_prompt_identity=true&next=%2Fdashboard
NOTE: if you have more than one YouTube identity, as in a personal account in addition to a business account, be sure you using the latter.
If that does not work, try the alternative method for qualifying for a custom URL by linking and verifying MusicCityGaming.com with either your Google+ page or your YouTube channel page.
Hope that helps. If so, please mark your question as answered.
